Dionysus watching Clarisse nurse Chris back to health after he went crazy in the Labyrinth: I think I’ve seen this film before.
Chiron: And you didn’t like the ending?
Dionysus: What? No, I’m still married, aren’t I?

Dionysus watching Clarisse kill the Drakon and parade it’s skin around after it killed Silena, who ran into battle in Clarisse’s armor:
If I had a nickel for every time that girl was in a relationship that paralleled a famous Ancient Greek couple spectacularly, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

another year of greeks and gays , wishing you all a happy and healthy new years 🧡
“he is half of my soul as the poets say”
When I'm not thinking about slow burn shit between characters that should be together, I'm thinking about the slow burn between my ideal version of myself and a character that deserved better
i read tsoa and was forced to feel things about greeks (also stealing hades designs because *chef’s kiss*)
reread tsoa and can't stop thinking about the fact they knew of achilles and patroclus.Everyone knew it, they must have seen: achilles falling to his knees in the middle of the agora cause patroclus has too much blood on his tunic from a rough day at medic, patroclus becoming the first soldier ever to return from battles without even a stracth bcz his feral dog can't stop doing laps around him, the way achilles doesn't attend any council meetings without him and doesn't make a single decision without eye contact with his philtatos, patroclus small talking with the camp and Achilles "I can't function without patroclus" pelides sulking,the fact that when patroclus ask someone if they slept well the other party can't do the same because everyone heard them last night.
Look at that!!
One 2 AM mini Walmart pumpkin pie later
Achilles n Patroclus :)
In all honestly I might delete this later, that pumkin pie gave me more confidence than I was expecting
clarisse is so achilles because achilles is actually kinda horrible and selfish the whole time but in the end it’s his love for patroclus that shows that he’s just a person after all. clarisse is not nice and she is selfish but she still loved so deeply… 🥺
AM I THE ONLY ONE GETTING ACHILLES AND PATROCLUS VIBES FROM NETFLIX'S YOUNG ROYALS?
it's just me? ok
"when he was gone, would I be like Achilles, wailing over his lost lover Patroclus? I tried to picture myself running up and down the beaches, tearing at my hair, cradling some scrap of old tunic he had left behind. Crying out for the loss of half my soul. I could not see it. That knowledge brought its own sort of pain."
Circe - Madeline Miller
After finishing song of achilles within 2 days.. I can say I don't feel sad..
I feel empty.
Instead of the ache within that we feel after reading some good angst, I feel as though a part of my soul just died.
I don't feel sad at the tragedy..
but the tears that threaten to escape say otherwise.
Okay I'm really hyped for Epic the Musical atm so heres what I'd go feral over in a potential Iliad musical
Polites developing the Open Arms ideology
Ody lamenting about missing his wife and wanting to go home ("penelopeee~")
PATROCHILLES????
Pre-Epic Ody and Athena interactions
Peri and Elpenor possibly getting more screen time
Palamedes's "betrayal" and possibly learning that Ody had a darker side that was closed off after the Trojan war and then CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Loose adaption so unknown plot threads that will only be revealed during streams or smth
Helen and Paris dramaaa????
A song for Helen's suitors being pick-me's ("Pick me, choose me, love, Me")
Idk ixll update more later
Historians : Achilles, Patroclus and others that you think were couples, were only friends.
Us:
It's been a really long time since I stayed up this late to read a book. It's 3:17 a.m and I'm still not sleepy.
Reading Love always, Wild by A.M.Johnson. it's a page turner❤
Do you ever lie on bed,eyes closed and thinking stuffs and suddenly you smile widely because you remembered a cute conversation/scene that your otp had?❤
There's an ache in me which spreads like a wildfire when I think about Patrochilles.
Two days after reading The Song of Achilles, I'm at the stage where I search their tag in every social media and go through it for hours and hours and suffer in its bitter-sweet story.
"We were like gods at the dawning of the world, & our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other."
-Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
The Song of Achilles is a fantastic book. AchillesxPatroclus's love story is heart-touching and legendary. I'm glad that I've read this book, even though it's heart-wrenching to read some parts.I thank Madeline Miller for writing this piece of story from Greek history/myth. Her writing is amazing. The way she weave words and describe the emotions and the beauty of everything is just wonderful. PATROCHILLES ARE GOING TO BE IN MY HEART FOREVER. ❤
One prayer more will I make you, if you will grant it; let not my bones be laid apart from yours, Achilles, but with them; even as we were brought up together in your own home
